Shaykh Sulayman Ruhaylee

Islam gives importance to every affair of life. Thus, there is not an aspect of your life, O Muslim, except that Islam clarifies and explains it. And this is from its concern for rectifying and unifying the community. And because the rectification of the community follows the rectification of the family, and the unity of the community is a result of the unity of the family, and the happiness of the family is connected to the spouses, Islam gives a great deal of importance to the spouses. As it relates to the rights of the spouses, there are rights before the engagement, rights at the time of the engagement, rights at the time of the marriage contract, and rights which remain throughout the affair of marriage.

Today, many families suffer from fundamental problems and intense differences between spouses, which steal their happiness and lead their families to serious consequences after they have had hopes for a life they planned for with their dreams. These golden dreams can be realized if spouses understand their function, which Allah (swt) determined for them, in order to build the family consciously. It is the most important function on earth, because the human is Allah’s (swt) purpose. He created him/her for a certain goal, not for fun or frivolity. "Deemed you then that we had created you for nothing, and that you would not be returned to us?" [Qur’an 23:115] This human (both spouses) is a guardian, trustee and responsible.

This book is a real course that enlightens the young, males and females, on the nature of the marital life and acquaints them with the reasons for its success, continuity, happiness and the reasons for its failures. It introduces for them the important and minute points of the marital relations and discusses the nature of the problems that usually arise.

Mohammed al-Jabali

The four books in the series cover various aspects of marriage according to the authentic Sunnah. Marriage Plays a most central role in the human life, and has been largely discussed by the scholars of Islam through the ages, resulting in numerous writings and treatises. Some of those writings, mostly by contemporary scholars, have been translated to English.

However, we find them restricted in scope, addressing Muslims who live in predominantly Islamic countries, or overlooking important real issues that have developed under the modern civilization. This leaves quite a large gap that needs to be filled for the benefit of the Muslims in English-speaking countries, and this is what we attempt to fulfill over the span of four books.

The final book in the series is a logical continuation to this topic, which deals with the normal fruit of marriage babies.

As a logical continuation to the previous three books, this sequel deals with the normal fruit of marriage: babies. It covers the Islamic regulations relating to a newborn, including welcoming the baby, naming it, shaving its hair, circumcising it, and slaughtering the sacrificial 'aqiqah. The discussion of naming the newborn covers the recommended and prohibited names, nicknames, and kunyahs. It is further enhanced with appendices that list Allah's authentic excellent names, as well as a large number of suggested Islamic names for both genders. The discussion of 'aqiqah includes its ruling, animals to be slaughtered, the dispensing of the meat, the 'aqiqah's feast, and the 'aqiqah's wisdom. The discussion of circumcision includes the circumcision process, its ruling for boys and girls, its benefits, and expressiveness and other violations. Other discussions include tahnik, shaving the baby's head, piercing the ears, breastfeeding, protection from the evil eye, toys and clothes for babies, birthdays, and so on. We intended, and we believe that we have largely succeeded, in making this book a complete reference covering the correct Islamic acts that parents need to perform for their newborn during its first few weeks. All praise is due to Allah.

Dr. Saalih Ibn Ghaanim Al-Sadlaan

Certainly, security and happiness, regardless of whether talking about the family or the society, will not come about simply through force and coercion. They will not be present through the power of iron or fire. In fact, they can only come about through the rectifying of the souls, purifying of the characters, proper perceptions and sticking to the laws of Islam and acting in accord with them in all aspects of life. If that is present, then the causes for security in society are present and for the family there will be the pillars for continuance and performance.

If Muslims would return to the principles of Islam and its law, they would find that it has laid down practical and realistic means for solving such disputes. In bringing about a good and proper family and marital life, the Noble Quran has laid down a path that solves every problem that could exist between the spouses and has laid down for them the ways of wisdom and stages of behavior that will lead to goodness. There is nothing amazing in this, since it is the law of a Lord who is Knowledgeable, Aware, who created mankind and knows its hidden aspects and places of weakness.

What then are the laws that bring about this great good of security and tranquility? It is what is known in fiqh as the laws of nushooz, its cases, its causes, how to be protected from it, and the means to cure the problem.

Muhammad Abdul Bari

Muslims are facing increasing challenges in building successful families and keeping them together. Some of these challenges are external in nature and are a result of the rise of extreme liberalism and materialism around us. Other challenges arise from our own internal problems such as complacency with regards to marriage and families and a poor understanding of Islam. The purpose of this book is, first, to raise awareness among Muslims about the importance of marriage, how and when it should be done Islamically and other related issues, such as material breakdown, divorce procedures, forced marriage and polygamy. Secondly, it highlights the features and purposes of Muslims families, the rights and responsibilities of family members, and important issues related to the family, such as extended families, domestic violence and fostering. The modern threat to the family and family values, the basic ingredients needed to make a blessed family, the ethos and principles of Muslim families, and the impediments that can cause family disharmony - all these have also tackled briefly in a holistic way from an Islamic perspective.

Other challenges arise from our own internal problems such as complacency with regards to marriage and families and a poor understanding of Islam. The purpose of this book is, first, to raise awareness among Muslims about the importance of marriage, how and when it should be done Islamically and other related issues, such as material breakdown, divorce procedures, forced marriage and polygamy. Secondly, it highlights the features and purposes of Muslims families, the rights and responsibilities of family members, and important issues related to the family, such as extended families, domestic violence and fostering. The modern threat to the family and family values, the basic ingredients needed to make a blessed family, the ethos and principles of Muslim families, and the impediments that can cause family disharmony - all these have also tackled briefly in a holistic way from an Islamic perspective.
